“Perhaps you have already heard about Lourdes, a little town in the French Pyrenees Mountains, famous all over the world. Thousands of Christians go there every year to pray. Sick people from all countries come in the hope of being cured. And yet, a hundred and fifty years ago, Lourdes was a very little village, and Bernadette, the one who started it all, was just a very simple girl of fourteen.” So begins the story of Bernadette and her amazing encounters with the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Young readers will enjoy the lovely watercolors and lively text as they are introduced to the simple girl whose visions of a “beautiful Lady” resulted in the discovery of a miraculous spring.
